Comments: This paper reviews recent advances in the deciphering of neural pathways and receptors involved in itch sensation. It will introduce some mediators and receptors with which our veterinary dermatology community is unlikely to be familiar, but this short paper paper is one of the simplest that I have recently read on this topic, so it makes for a nice reading.
